Adaptive Releases Version 2.2 of its leading IT
/ Business Alignment Software
New features improve ease of use, performance,
visualization, interoperability and extensibility
October 1, 2003 - Adaptive, Inc., a leading provider
of knowledge management solutions for business transformation, today
announced the second major release of its enterprise scale IT / business
alignment software, Adaptive IT Portfolio Manager™ (ITPM) and
its companion customization tool, Adaptive Designer™.
Among the many enhancements, this release will benefit
Adaptive’s clients and partners by making it quicker and easier
to tailor the solution to a wide range of end users. Also featuring
in this release:
- Improved performance
- More powerful data import capability
- Improved visualization
- Enhanced security
- Enhanced collaboration capability
Adaptive IT Portfolio Manager™ lets users capture
and visualize the enterprise IT architecture to provide a 360 degree
view of the inter-dependencies among IT, applications, interfaces,
data, infrastructure and the business processes, projects, organization
structure and strategic direction. By providing a holistic view of
the enterprise IT assets, ITPM exposes complex relationships and dependencies
to enable an organization to identify impacts, risks and potential
costs of any changes, as well as identify insufficiently used capability,
bottlenecks, redundancies and duplications. In short, it enables users
to optimize the alignment between IT and the business.
ITPM is built on the open, standards-based, powerful
and scalable Adaptive Foundation™ repository platform, deployed
via an impressive web-based browser interface that is easily integrated
into the way users already work. The repository can be hosted on Microsoft®
SQL Server or Oracle®.
Jeff Goins, Executive VP of Adaptive, said: “The
overriding need to cut costs, increase efficiency and to improve profitability
is a significant challenge in today’s economy. Adaptive’s
ITPM delivers significant benefits to an IT organization in addressing
these issues, by enabling it to achieve faster time-to-market, plan
changes to its IT portfolio and determine the impact on the complex
interdependencies between applications, data, interfaces, and infrastructure
and their relationship to business processes, organization structure,
projects and strategic direction. Organizations can now clearly understand
the impacts of the business on IT.
"ITPM will leverage the value of finite resources
and budgets by helping ensure that IT investments align with business
imperatives and compliance mandates affecting organizations today.”
